luggage load capacity is
650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x
150) = 650 lbs.)
5.Determine the combined
weight of luggage and
cargo being loaded on
the vehicle. That weight
may not safely exceed
the available cargo and
luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4.
6.If your vehicle will be
towing a trailer, load from
your trailer will be
transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this
manual to determine how
this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load
capacity of your vehicle.”

and Shifting out of Park 0210.
R : Use this gear to back up.
If the vehicle is shifted from
either R (Reverse) to D (Drive)
or D (Drive) to R (Reverse)
while the speed is too high,
the vehicle may shift to
N (Neutral). Reduce the vehicle
speed and try the shift again.
To shift into R (Reverse): 1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. From the center position, move the shift lever
rearward toward you, and
then up. R is illuminated

220 Driving and Operating
Regenerative Braking
Regenerative braking takes
some of the energy from the
moving vehicle and turns it
back into electrical energy.
This energy is then stored
back into the high voltage
battery system, contributing
to increased energy efficiency.
Regenerative power may be
limited when the battery is
near full charge or cold. See
“Regenerative Power Limited”
under Power Indicator Gauge
0111. Regenerative braking
supplements your vehicle’s
conventional brakes, especially
when going downhill. See Hill
and Mountain Roads 0200.
{Warning
Do not charge your vehicle’s
battery above an 80%
charge if you are going to
drive down long, steep
grades such as mountain
passes. This provides room
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
in the battery for
regenerative braking to
supplement your
conventional brakes during
the descent. This is
especially important when
towing a trailer, which puts
additional stress on your
vehicle’s braking system.
See“Charge Now” under
Charging 0123 for
information on setting
charge limits. See Hill and
Mountain Roads 0200 for
important information about
driving on grades.
The brake system uses
regenerative braking,
conventional hydraulic braking,
or a combination of both as
appropriate.
Regen on Demand
Applying the Regen on
Demand steering wheel paddle
requests additional
deceleration using
regenerative braking. The
deceleration request
increases as the paddle is
applied more. It works in D
(Drive). The accelerator pedal
can be used to manage
deceleration while using
Regen on Demand. See
One-Pedal Driving 0214.

the brakes.
ACC may occasionally provide
an alert and/or braking that is
considered unnecessary.
It could respond to vehicles in
different lanes or stationary
objects when entering or
exiting a curve. This is normal
operation. The vehicle does
not need service.Other Vehicle Lane Changes

ahead until it is completely in
the lane. The brakes may need
to be manually applied.
Objects Not Directly in Front
of Your Vehicle
The detection of objects in
front of the vehicle may not be
possible if:
.The vehicle or object ahead
is not within your lane.
.The vehicle ahead is shifted,
not centered, or is shifted to
one side of the lane.Driving in Narrow Lanes
Vehicles in adjacent traffic
lanes or roadside objects may
be incorrectly detected when
located along the roadway.
Do Not Use ACC on Hills
Do not use ACC when driving
on steep hills. ACC will not
detect a vehicle ahead.
Do Not Use ACC When
Towing a Trailer
ACC should not be used when
towing a trailer.
